Climate change is universally accepted as the greatest threat to mankind the world has ever known. Scientists warn that inaction now will spell disaster for future generations and be nothing short of genocide for the worst hit nations.
Although some people would rather bury their heads in the sand than take up the common fight, or try to justify their inaction with pitiful excuses about not being able to make a difference, the growing majority are raring to do their bit.
One only has to look at how quickly household recycling has become second nature to millions across England to realise how enthusiastic people are to make the necessary changes to their lives.
No one needs telling, of course, that dealing with climate change will take a lot more than simply remembering to sort out their metals, papers, plastics and compost, buying eco-friendly products or reusing old shopping bags. But sometimes knowing what to do next is not always obvious.
The good news is that there are many opportunities for each of us to reduce our ecological footprints and make a real difference to the fate of the planet and our children. Follow the links on the left to find out more about some of the larger scale projects and developments on offer today.
